Dear Colleague,
a) Structure and systems for engaging AIDS Vaccine Researchers & Public
Organizations and stakeholders to stimulate two-way innovative-dialogue:
Concerns were expressed that the mistrust generated by some previous unethical
clinical trials in India and ignorance, stigma and discrimination about HIV/AIDS might
make it more difficult to set up trials and to recruit volunteers. Qualitative research was
conducted to understand the concerns of stakeholders. Community preparedness work
was also undertaken in the country to address these concerns towards clinical trial
process but leaving scope to address the issue to achieve the desired goal. The
Government of India has always stressed that successful and ethical clinical trials for
AIDS Vaccine require the informed and active participation of local communities and
support from within those communities. The proposed agenda will help in informed
community participation by disseminating scientific and technical information to the grass
root levels ranging from the understanding of risks and benefits of trial participation,
rights of participants and the potential use of all clinical trial samples, in concise,
intelligible and culture-sensitive ways.
Greater engagement, with significantly built capacities, and increased coordination within
NGOs, PLHIV networks, communities as well as researchers and stakeholders in
AIDS- vaccine Research & Development programme in India in a supportive
environment and to reduce controversies and gap in terms of information and service
accessibility.
